Good thing that girl is hott,
Anyways to answer your question, I believe that 1/5th of American's can't locate the US on a world map because a lot of Americans are little kids who haven't been to school yet, also I'm sure there are people out there who haven't had the benefit of receiving a good education such as Miss Teen South Carolina.

According to National Geographic's survey in 2006, 94% of Americans can locate the US on a map.
On the other hand, only 19% actually own a world map and only 15% own a globe. 22% own no maps other than a local street map.
Her answer is clearly correct. The knowledge is there. If Americans can't locate the US on a map, it's because they don't have a map.

I have not seen a globe/world map in 10 years and i can still locate it. I think that. There are a lot of reasons why someone would not be able to locate it. Maybe they didn't go to school long enough to learn that. A lot of elderly people did not make it out of elementary. illegal immigrants, blind people, mentally handicapped

How many Americans are under 7 or 8 and are elderly with some sort of mental handicap (dementia, altzhemeiers(sic))
I'd say about 1/5

Not even remotely possible, where did those numbers come from.
They must have asked 5 people in Lillian Alabama and called it a day.

Chris Johnson and Tyrone Williams asked the same question. You should read their answers side by side.

I have no idea what your trying to say here, but I'm pretty sure if 1/5th of the population of America couldn't find it on a world map, its likely they are children or imigrants.

Wisenheimer has it 200% CORRECT when he says:
>"America's education system (since it was taken over by the federal government / world bankers) is literally designed to make us dumber. It works!"<
I couldn't have said it better, myself!!!
